Hardware Configuration Utility driver kernel issue on linux

I just installed NI DAQmx drivers 2023 on my Linux RHEL9 machine, following these instructions:

https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/ni-platform-on-linux-desktop/page/installing-ni-drivers-and-sof...

 

When I launch the Hardware Configuration Utility in order to add my remote cDAQ device, I get the message "a driver kernel module is installed but not running on your system. If you have recently installed new drivers, run sudo dkms autoinstall and reboot", Although I did made the kernel driver build step and rebooted several time.

 

Can someone help me on that issue?

Did you notice any errors when running `sudo dkms autoinstall`? If you don't remember, try running it again.

 

Try running the command below, if the `dkms autoinstall` worked, you should see a bunch of modules listed:
`sudo dkms status | awk -F/ '/^ni/ {print $1}'`

 

If the `dkms autoinstall` is failing with an error about incompatible licenses, that's because there's currently a bug where the latest NI DAQmx drivers don't work on the default kernel for RHEL 9.4. You either have to downgrade to RHEL 9.3, or downgrade the kernel to the one that shipped with RHEL 9.3. I'm running 9.4 with the downgraded kernel and have the nidaqmx drivers working well.

Here's the packages I have when running the command above, but I also have a few extra packages, so you might have a bit less than this
